Connelly, SVP, Chief Communications & Public Affairs Officer of Darden Restaurants, Inc., had multiple Form 4 reportable events primarily related to the vesting and conversion of performance restricted stock units and restricted stock units into common stock, coupled with tax-related share dispositions. Performance RSUs from FY24 (775 shares) and FY23 (2,144 shares), as well as 752 RSUs from the FY24 annual grant, were converted into Darden common stock on a one-for-one basis, producing multiple acquisition entries (coded “M”) at a deemed price of $0 and increasing her direct common stock ownership. To satisfy tax withholding obligations upon vesting, she disposed of 296, 305, and 844 shares of common stock (coded “F”) at an indicated price of $196.31 per share, resulting in aggregate tax-related sales of 1,445 shares worth approximately $283,862. Her post-transaction direct ownership, reflecting these vestings and related withholdings, was reported around 6,391.3010 shares of common stock, indicating that these were routine equity compensation events rather than discretionary open‑market trades.
